Wetherspoons has used Twitter to tell its 44,000 followers that it is quitting social media.
The firm's head office and 900 pubs will quit the micro-blogging site, and also Instagram and Facebook, with immediate effect, it said. The firm said its decision had also been influenced by concerns regarding the "misuse of personal data" and "the addictive nature of social media".
They issued a statement earlier today saying:
Devon teenager charged after Somerset stabbing
Man attacked on street
Two Plymouth towns set for major boost
Residents to call the shots
Could more Dartmoor car parks charge prices?
There are only a small number at present
MP frustrated over Torbay Hospital funding
Conservative and Labour governments both blamed for under-investment
